Every now and then {more like every day...but I’m trying to sound healthy} I get a really bad case of the sweet tooth. This situation is quite the dilemna because 1. I’m trying to maintain a "summer bod" and 2. I’m too lazy to put any effort into baking something. BUT....I'm happy to tell you I've found a solution to my problems. Enter in this no-bake cheesecake made with Greek yogurt cream cheese {GYCC}, a healthy granola crust, and naturally sweetened with honey.
I'm having a summer fling with GYCC because it's ½ the fat of regular cream cheese but still tastes rich and creamy. It's the perfect cold treat for these hot summer days and I can enjoy it without guilt....when I eat a proper portion, of course! It satisfies my sweet tooth and I feel good about eating it - what more could a lazy girl like me want?
Lazy Girl’s Single-Serving Cheesecake
Ingredients
- About ½ cup of granola I use Nature’s Path Organic Coconut Chia Granola, plus extra for serving
- 2 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil
- 3 to 4 ounces of Greek yogurt cream cheese softened on the counter for 15 minutes or so
- 1-2 tablespoons of honey you can add more to taste, plus extra for serving
- Splash of vanilla extract
- ½ cup blueberries or any other desired fruit
Instructions
- Blend the granola in a high-powered blender or food processor until fine crumbs form. Then drizzle the coconut oil or butter and blend until combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the single-serving dish (such as a ramekin) and press evenly into the bottom, and slightly up the sides. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes while you make the filling.
- In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, honey, and vanilla until smooth (I found that using a fork works best).
- Remove the crust from freezer and spoon the filling into it.
- Top with blueberries, honey, and granola (optional). You can enjoy this right away, or be like me and put it back in the freezer/fridge to let it set a little more while you do the dishes...oh wait, this cheesecake is for lazy girls so leave the dishes for later!
